For those of you missing dlipkin….

One of my most prolific commentators, dlipkin, hasn’t been on the blog lately, and for the greatest reason possible — he’s spending a few months touring the world with his girlfriend!

He just arrived in Singapore after some time in New Zealand. He just started writing in his blog, which you can check out here. There are some links to pictures, too. I hope he writes more — it’s great so far!

Hope you’re having a blast, Derek — and I hope to follow in your footsteps within a few years!
